My MP would not be afraid to stand against public opinion. They will nto be interested in saying what is good or bad, but will instead fight to enable citizens of this country to do what they believe would be good. They will listen to other peoples' opinions, but look for facts rather than anecdotes. They will refuse to use sensationalist language - words such as "swamping", "raping", "eroding" will be replaced by more realism-centred words such as "affecting", "altering", "increasing". 

The MP would respect everybody, their rights, and their responsibilities. They would be interested in long-term gain, rather than short-term, and would not be afraid to argue for this. They would tell the moral majority to stop attempting to force their morals on a minority who have as much of a right to live, and defend freedom of speech and action as long as people weren't being physically or financially harmed by these speeches or actions.

It is difficult to place into words this ethos. It is an ethos free of hatred, bitterness, or a childish whining about perceived injustices or petty gripes of "unfair" treatment. It is an ethos which truly respects eevery life on this planet as a life, while recognising that people can be damaged - refusing to alienate, to demonify or reduce value to that of a statistic or cliche.

In short, it is neither Melanie Philips nor Militant Socialist. It is not a tool of business, nor an enemy of people who are just trying to make money. They don;t exist, because unfortunately too many people are too stupid to recognise that in this world there is no black or white, it is all grey.
